Designed by the LSDF to be used by the Lorath and their affiliates, the standardized medical compartment has been introduced to promote greater ease in the treatment of personnel by field medics, doctors, and even barely qualified ship crew members. In this case, the large medical compartment is intended to be used for larger starships, or in installations which can expect large numbers of patients.
The large variant of the standardized medical compartment has been designed to serve as the primary source of medical care and assistance aboard large starships, space stations, large shipyards, and in large surface installations. Being dubbed as a 'Compartment' is deceptive for the design of what can be better described as a large clinic, this large design was produced due to the intent of producing a medical care facility which would be able to provide extended medical care to numerous individuals for an extended period of time, while also being able to treat short-term cases with minimal need to alter the compartment in any way.
Each large medical compartment has been designed to include at least two entry points, however, it is often preferred that a medical compartment has an entry point from each direction of the ship or facility in which it has been installed. In cases of a large medical compartment being installed in a planetary facility, this often results in the medical compartment taking a central location within a building, to provide access from the floor above, the floor below, and from what can loosely be dubbed the left, right, front, and back ends of the compartment. This layout persists in the case of large medical compartments on starships, which results in a central lift shaft which provides access to the medical compartment from all decks above and below, as well as at least two entrances on the deck which the compartment is situated upon.
Each large medical compartment consists of a series of separate interior sections which include: Reception, triage, general treatment rooms, extended treatment rooms, surgical compartment, medical storage compartment, personnel revival and resurrection, medical lab, and medical personnel offices.
Due to the demands of a large installation or starship, a reception area has been included. Reception areas are located at each entrance and have personnel present to conduct admittance for patients, or to guide severely injured individuals to triage for immediate treatment. As a standard for any reception area, seats are present, as are audio-visual media screens.
Serving as a backbone for medical treatment in larger starships and installations, general treatment rooms in large medical compartments serve as a room in which a doctor can privately consult with a patient, or administer treatment. General treatment rooms include the standard amenities of Lorath and UOC medicine, and allow doctors to treat patients for anything from simple muscle aches, to long term illnesses in general comfort and seclusion for the sake of privacy and patient dignity.
